Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2022, the burden was 193,911 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 70,537 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the number of participating companies, and an increase in the number of transactions, we have not identified a correlation between the reduction in burden hours and the implementation of eCBSV. There is no change to the burden time per response. Although the number of responses changed, SSA did not take any actions to cause this change. These figures represent current Management Information data.
